Match the stages of business cycle to their financial needs.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

funds raised from personal savings and mortgages - seed stage

external financing through equity or debt - startup stage

external financing, mostly through equity and venture capital - growth stage

high retained earnings that are used in the business - maturity stage

external financing is not needed and debts are paid back - decline stage

Explanation:

Seed stage: The seed stage is when a business first comes into existence. The initial capital needed to finance the business is raised at this time. This capital is usually raised by the owner in the form of personal savings, mortgages, or borrowings from family and friends. This is a high-risk stage, so external financing options are limited.

Start-up stage: The start-up stage is where the first revenues come into the business, but the profits are yet to be realized. Because there are no retained earnings, there is a need for external financing. If the business has an established potential and the owners have credibility, it is easy at this stage for the owner to get external financing through debt or equity from family members, friends, and angel investors.

Growth stage: The growth stage is when a company establishes itself and begins to show profits on its balance sheet. However, the profits and other internal funds may not be enough to sustain growth at this stage. The business needs a steady flow of working capital (short-term funds) to strengthen its operations and fuel further growth. External funding needs are high at this stage, and funds are raised through equity and venture capital. Some companies also issue initial public offerings (IPOs) at this stage to get more funding.

Maturity stage: The maturity stage is when the business has established itself, has a sizable number of customers, and experiences slower growth. Retained earnings will be high, and there is no need for external financing. Businesses issue bonds and securities to fund their operations at this stage.

Decline: A business reaches a decline when demand for its products and services falls, and sales go down. The external financing needs are very low. The business may buy back stock and repay debts at this stage.

Mimi Company is considering a capital investment of $275,000 in new equipment. The equipment is expected to have a 5-year useful

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Payback Period: 11 Years

Net Present Value: $123,055

Profitability Index: 0.45

Internal rate of return: 53.48%

Annual rate of return: 38.18%

Explanation:

Payback Period:

The Cash Payback Period can be calculated from the following formula, when the cash inflows are even Cash flows:

Payback Period = Investment / Even Cash flow

Here total annual even cash flow = $25,000 + $80,000 = $105,000

By putting values, we have:

Payback Period = $275,000 / $25,000 = 11 Years

Net Present Value:

As we know:

Net present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow - Present Value of Cash Outflow

Here

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Even Cash flow * Annuity Factor

By putting values:

Present Value of Cash Inflow = $105,000 * 3.791 = $398,055

Now Present value of cash outflow which is investment will the same because the money is invested in the year zero.

Which means:

Net present Value = $398,055 - 275,000 = $123,055

Profitability Index:

The profitability Index can be calculated using the following formula:

PI = NPV / Investment

So by putting values, we have:

PI = $123,055 / $275,000 = 0.45

Internal rate of return:

At 10%, NPV is $123,055 so all we have to do is to use a higher cost of capital to find using the formula at the end, the breakeven rate of return at which NPV is zero.

So I choose 20%.

At 20%, annuity factor is 2.990 which is approximately 3.

So

NPV = $125,000 * 3 - $275,000 = $100,000

By putting values in the following formula:

IRR = Lower Percentage + (Higher percentage - Lower percentage) * (NPV at Higher Percentage) / (NPV at lower - NPV at higher)

By putting values, we have:

IRR = 10% + (20% - 10%) * ($100,000) / ($123000 - $100,000)

IRR = 10% + 10% * 4.348 = 53.48%

Annual rate of return:

Annual rate of return can be calculated using the following formula:

Annual rate of return = Earnings Before Interest and tax / Investment

Here

Earnings before interest and tax is $105,000

So by putting formula, we have:

Annual rate of return = $105,000 / $275,000 = 38.18%
